Is there anyway to use mSATA for this motherboard

[lightningzinger]

Hi i have a spare 256gb msata i want to use in my laptop. The only free ports i have is a ram slot and an unknown port next to the hard drive (seen in pic).

Tried plugging it in didn't work. Any idea how i can use this msata drive?

Laptop is hp bw070au

that unknown drive is used for M.2 Drives like https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147675&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Solid+State+Disk-_-N82E16820147675&gclid=Cj0KCQiAieTUBRCaARIsAHeLDCR2ZtytVQr6i7lMkLPObqH-SX1IbhrmehNWEMena16rtwv36XMZIIQaApK4EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

I notice in the picture it shows three separate sets of pins. However, the port only appears to accept two sets of pins. Is this still for m.sata or something else?

Defenitely not msata slot. Looks like the connection from cd/dvd drive bay.
